I worked with Orla Milligan at Pathway Careers and I found the service to be so responsive, professional and attentive. Orla took the time to get to know me, my experience and my ambitions to help me find a place which suited me. I’m delighted that I agreed to work with Orla and I would recommend her to anyone.

I can not thank Orla from Pathway enough! I was trying to get administration work in the legal field which was a total change for me after nearly 20 years in the health service. I tried without success to get interviews when applying for legal administration roles and after over 17 unreturned calls with another agency I found Pathway Careers thankfully! From my first call to Pathway I left a message and was called back by Orla promptly. She listened to me, gave me help with my CV and kept in regular contact. She put feelers out with her contacts and kept in regular contact. Orla answered any question I had even when I thought they were silly and gave me advice on a course I had found to help me on my way in my new career path – Legal Secretaries Diploma. It turns out Pathway Careers collaborate with this course which is on-line and Orla got someone from the course to ring me and give guidance. Within 2 weeks Orla had found me a post, I started my diploma on line, I went for an interview and secured the job on the same day. After 5 months of searching for “my dream job” Pathway Careers had guided and supported me securing a job within 2 weeks from contacting them! If only I had found them sooner but all good things come to those who wait. Thank you Pathway Careers – Orla Milligan I will be forever grateful to the person who believed in me and encouraged me securing the perfect end result! If you are looking for any job roles in the legal sector contact Pathway Careers you will not be disappointed!!!

I had the pleasure of working with Orla during my search for a new role in corporate from our very first conversation, she was incredibly friendly, approachable and genuinely took the time to understand my experience, career goals and what I was looking for in my next position with understanding and compassion.
What really stood out was Orla’s consistent communication and availability, she was always on hand to answer questions, provide thoughtful advice and keep me updated throughout the process. I felt fully supported and confident at every stage, and her insight into the legal market and relationships with various law firms were invaluable.
Thanks to Orla’s efforts, I’ve now started a fantastic new role as a Corporate Solicitor that aligns perfectly with my aspirations. I couldn’t recommend Orla enough to any legal professional looking for their next move, her support and professionalism is excellent.

From the first day of reaching out to Orla, to the offer of a favourable and exciting opportunity, she has displayed such professionalism, with impeccable consistency and genuine interest in my employment journey. Orla remained focused and efficient, with her sole goal in perfectly matching an individual to a role and firm which was suitable for both candidate and client. This I feel is a true flare she expresses and her feedback was immediate and sometimes even after business hours. Such a lady, who no doubt is and will be extremely valued within the field of legal recruitment. I cannot express my recommendation of Pathway Careers enough. Thank you Orla.

Paul Delahunt
Orla was fantastic in helping finding me a new role. A brief message from myself on LinkedIn was followed up with a phone call from Orla providing me with the full details of the role I applied for.
I appreciated Orla’s honesty when discussing whether I would be fit for the role, and the confidence that she instilled prior to the interview.
Orla also made sure to touch base with me following the interviews and ensured that I was kept fully informed on her discussions with the firm in which I will be moving too.
I would highly recommend Orla to anyone seeking employment within the Legal industry as she’s not solely focused on placing a candidate in any role, she ensures that the role is a good fit for everyone involved.
Finally, I’d like to say a massive thanks to Orla for getting me a move, and I’m really looking forward to getting started.

I have been using Orla’s services for over a decade now. Orla has her finger on the pulse, understands my skill set and is incredibly efficient and professional at all times. Orla would be very pro active at networking to find a position. I regularly change my job and would always consult Orla first. Even if I am just having a wobble Orla will still provide details of what is available and nothing is ever a problem to her. I would strongly recommend her to anyone in the legal profession who is seeking employment.
